Apparatus for Controlling Fan Motor of Vehicle Cooling Fan and Method Thereof

A method of controlling a fan motor of a vehicle cooling fan, the method comprising:

• determining whether an operating condition of a cooling fan for cooling a condenser of an air conditioner device is satisfied based on driving information of a vehicle detected by a sensing unit;
• determining whether a flooding condition of the vehicle is satisfied based on the driving information;
• and
• controlling an operation of a fan motor of the cooling fan based on whether the cooling fan operates and whether the vehicle is flooded.

A vehicle comprising:

• a cooling system comprising an engine, a radiator, a water pump, and a cooling fan, wherein the engine, the radiator, and the water pump are disposed on a cooling line;
• an air conditioner device integrated in the cooling system, wherein the air conditioner device comprises a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator disposed on a refrigerant line;
• a sensing unit;
• and
• a controller configured to determine whether an operating condition of the cooling fan and a flooding condition of the vehicle are satisfied based on driving information of the vehicle detected by the sensing unit and to control an operation of a fan motor of the cooling fan based on whether the vehicle is flooded.
